New Version

Nothing too exciting, some bug fixes and stabiltiy improvements, as usual. :)

Download version 3.71 from the link on the left, log onto the forum to comment on this version (very much appreciated!) or use the in-built comments system in MSN for mIRC.

Have fun!

Major New Version

Today sees the release of version 3.70.

This version fixes problems with Windows 98, improves the contact list so that groups are displayed (go to the control panel to reverse this change), improves stability once again by pinging the MSN server and many, many other stability fixes

Download version 3.70 on the left. Click here to comment on this version, or use the inbuilt comments system within MSN for mIRC.

No more /background errors

Version 3.63 has been released today. The main fix is that it solves * /background: no such file errors. This background error is caused by a fairly significant bug in mIRC 6.3, which the mIRC creator tells me is now fixed for the next version. MSN for mIRC detects if you're using mIRC 6.3 and if you are a workaround is applied. The workaround is however not as good as if the bug didn't exist, so unless you're using Windows Vista I'd still recommend that you use mIRC 6.21.

Windows Vista is now fully supported. I've only got access to Windows Vista Basic to test, but if it works on that it should work on any Vista version. Please read the how_to_install text file when you download MSN for mIRC, as the Vista installation has a couple more steps you need to perform over the XP installation.

Please click here to post any comments you may have on this version. Also note that you can use the inbuilt comments system in MSN for mIRC, accessible from the MSN for mIRC control panel, to send me comments directly. Any input is very much appreciated.

Bug Fix

I've just taken MSN for mIRC up to v3.61.

This version fixes a bug whereby you couldn't use any of the buttons built into the side of chat windows. You should now be able to use the buttons, including "Send a File or Photo".

Thanks to 'xyz' for pointing this bug out to me via email. If anyone else spots any bugs, please let me know either by personal email, the forum or the built in comments system.

New Version

There is a new version of MSN for mIRC out, version 3.60!

I've listened to people's comments and I'm pleased to announce the following fixes/new features in version 3.60:
- A new way of authenticating with Passport servers, meaning no more:
                *** Connecting...
                *** Authorising via SSL... (this may take a while)
                *** Disconnected

- The contact list now shows when a user is blocked, along with their current status (something the official client doesn't do!).
- Fixed how sometimes when someone signed in, "User has signed in" would appear multiple times.
- Added /msn.say command.  '/msn.say help' for usage guide.
- MSN for mIRC will no longer freeze if you try to talk to or block someone with < or > in their name.
- You can talk to people when you have blocked them (they can also reply to you).
- Various minor bug fixes.

Download version 3.60 from the left.  You are strongly recommended to download mIRC 6.20 from here, as SSL support in earlier versions of mIRC is very bad.

I'd really appreciate your comments on the new version on the forum (no need to register).

Have fun!

Another Minor Update

Version 3.50 has just been released - download it on the left.

The latest fixes are listed below:
- /sockwrite errors eliminated
- Problems with $decode and mIRC v6.17 eliminated
- Continuous "user has left the conversation" messages in chat windows fixed

Coming Soon:
- /msn.say command, allows you to send messages to MSN contacts through mIRC scripts
- Support for personal messages

carvell, 4th March 2006


Solution to /sockwrite 'msn' not connected (line 144, msn.mrc)

The MSN server that MSN for mIRC uses has been taken offline.

I'm not entirely sure why this is, but the problem can be fixed by typing:
/set %msn.server messenger.hotmail.com
in mIRC, and then reconnecting to MSN for mIRC.

The new version, downloadable on the left, does not have this problem. If you are not comfortable typing commands into mIRC, then simply download and install version 3.46 from the left.

Minor Update

A minor update was released today, allowing users to disable the in-channel notification that a user has logged on - this update was released as a result of the comments received from the new inbuilt comments system that allows users to send comments directly to the author.

Back! (again..)

Hi everyone!

Sorry I have been away the last few weeks (months?) - lots of stuff going on in life, exams, interviews, results, all sorts!

To quote mess.be - "The last update (3.25) of the beta-version has been released in April already and the absence of site updates and lack of admin activity on the forum make me think the project has been abandoned. But maybe adding it to our extensive download collection will fuse the development again? " - yes guys, it has. :-)

Anyway - I plan to do some proper work on MSN for mIRC over the next week or so and get the basic connection issues sorted.  You guys have been patient waiting for something to happen - and I really want to deliver.

Incidentally, if anyone has in their possession a nice dll to get the script connected in mIRC, I would greatly appreciate it, connecting to the network is by far the most complex part, the part where peoples clients fall down.  I can be contacted at the address at the bottom of the page.

The project will take off again, thank you for your continued support - please stick with me - I'm a busy boy at the moment!

carvell, 21st August 2004

 

BETA!

I've just finished up a new BETA.

You can download this from the link on the left, but if you are using it I would be grateful if you could leave your opinions of it on the forum, link below.

Everything should work, except file sending. (file receiving should work 100%)

Update: File Sending should now work! Some feedback on whether it does for you or not would be great.

Hello

I'm back!

I realise that I haven't been around updating MSN for mIRC for a while, but now I am back, and ready to get MSN Messenger for mIRC back to its former glory!

I'm currently on an Easter break from school and the world of exams, so I can spend a bit of time getting MSN for mIRC going. :o)

I will be keeping MSN for mIRC on the MSNP8 protocol for the time being, the main priorities right now are to get it working back as it was, and then add some nice new features.

Hopefully in the next 1-2 weeks it'll be back on this site and working, so just bear with me.
